Hello guys
I recently bought an Nikkor 105/2.8 micro but cause a friend
had trouble paying his rent (he was about to get kicked out of his house), i brought the lens back and used the money to save his ass. This lens costed 675 Euro's (its Holland over here (explains my typing-errors, sorry for it;-)) as it was an occasion. I am not too sure but i believe an Euro is worth a few cents more then a u$ dollar. Now i am looking for again an macro at the same range. I am sure i did all i could to get the best pics from the Nikkor in that week i had it.
By the way, its really a very very good lens this Nikkor.
But even if i had the money, then still i would look for another brand/same lens cause i like to see the differences between the brands, on my own pics. Of course i'll tell you all about this as soon as i got a few good pics of the new lens.

The lenses i am thinking about to choose are,
1. (SIGMA) 105mm f2.8 EX Macro 1:1 Lens
or
2. (TAMRON) SP AF 90 mm F/2,8 MACRO 1:1

Now,
Is there anyone who could provide me with some tips?
